So when I drove up from SC to visit I had to see what all the fuss was about. Sadly, I took more videos than photos as umm be posting them to my author and book pages (@shewriteswithknives). So if you're wanting an interior look by me you'll have to check there at a later date. Now let's get into it. Pressed is cute. Very cute! This bookstore had a particular charm that made me want to look everywhere at once without being overloaded. I was excited to see they had less mainstream books, thus making their selection a bit wider. I somehow managed to only buy one book and paired it with a lavender matcha iced latte. On top of their book selection they have several cute stickers, hats, candles and assorted bookish knickknacks to enhance your reading experience. I'm very glad I was able to drop by.

The space itself is small enough to feel cozy with plenty of seating options, including high-top and low-top tables, two couches, and a bar along the front window, which is great for people who want to spend some time there. There are plenty of outlets and two private bathrooms, both stocked with sanitary products. Drink wise, you won't find an elaborate list of over the top designer lattes here but they do have a seasonal beverage or two and a variety of syrups (rose, lavender, caramel, etc) you can add to enhance your drink. I'm a sucker for their mocha. It's so rich and delicious without being heavy or overly sweet. They also have some baked goods & some of the best ice cream sandwiches I've ever had. Recently, Ember & Forge installed a free food pantry outside, another reflection of their deep commitment to our community. It's easy to feel good supporting a business like that.

The people who run the shop are so nice and friendly, most of the foods and products have English translations in them but if there is any confusion, they are more than happy to help! The store is always clean and fully stocked with various types of meats (best dried meat we've ever bought in Erie), sweets, drinks, and snacks. Even if you aren't familiar with European foods (I probably wouldn't be either if it wasn't for being with a Serbian) I still highly recommend you check this place out! They have a large stock of Milka chocolates and other snacks that may be more familiar with, and there's lots of new fun stuff to try!

(*Cue the Yelp review*) - this boba shop in the heart of downtown Erie brings a lot of life and sheds light on the concept of boba to many who haven't experienced it. They have a wide variety of flavors from fruit to milk teas (that can be made hot or cold), but my personal favorites are the ones with chai! There's even a little area for drink pickup, fun Asian snacks and foods (like various types of ramen), and a little wall with teas that you can check out. Pro-tip: you'll likely crave boba often so ask for the punch card and get a free boba every now and then!

Apparently North Edge is their retail arm, and Mill Creek a commercial coffee service provider. We were visiting Erie and enjoying breakfast at a local diner (Gem City Dinor") that had been recommended to us the night before. Nice place, and I commented to our server that "I wish I could make coffee this good at home." She smiled and pointed out North Edge across the street - she said that was where they get their coffee from (Indonesian Bali Blue Moon). So we wandered over after breakfast and enjoyed talking with the staff there while getting educated a little on coffee roasting and brewing. We walked out smiling with a few bags of coffee and a handful of accessories, including one of their mugs. All-in-all, a great place to visit if you're a coffee lover!

The only thing I didn't like is the sandwiches came with chips made in house instead of fries unless you paid extra, and the chips were kind of bland. Service is great. The space is lovely. I think I'll try breakfast next time we're in the area. I think it's available all day.
